Creative Connections aimed to promote and facilitate the voices of children in schools across Europe and to consider ways of cross-European communication which might sustainably support these connections. As the project evolved we wanted to ensure that the voices of teachers were heard too. Their input and reflections have been immensely useful in terms of helping us learn about practice; the practical application of the complex communication tools and how we might develop these further within a range of curricula across different European education systems. Analysis of the work in schools and interviews with our teacher-participants has resulted in six core themes: they are presented here and in greater detail on our project website. If you are a teacher, a parent or are interested in education there are fascinating revelations which we hope will inform practice in schools.
Details of the participating schools are also included here.
